Ensign
Gerard SPENCER was christened on 25 Apr 1614 in St. Mary's Parish, Stotfold,
Bedford, England.(8362)
(8363)(8364) He emigrated
about 1630 to Cambridge, Massachusetts Bay Colony.
(8365)(8366) According to
Jack Spencer (600), there is no known record of the SPENCERs amoung any passenger
list, but the 5 Spencer brothers were "almost certainly" among the
passengers of the 1630 Winthrop fleet. he asumes that they came together. It
is known that siblings Eliabeth and Timothy were in Saugus (Lynn) in 1630. William
was in Newe Towne (Cambridge) in 1631 being one of the first 8 settlerd there.
If so, Gerard, the youngest, would have been only 16 when he arrived. "They
probably were among the thousands of Englishmen who had no strong ties to the
land simply because the did not belong to the landed gentry. They had few hopes
for advancing their situation in life by remaining in England. They were, in
fact, relics of the centuries of domination by the nobility and the landed gentry."
Jack Spencer includes an 8-page chapter on "Why and how the Spencer siblings
of Bedfordshire come to America," in which he cites four motivations. The
first was economic. Gerard Sr leased his property in 1615. Jack Spencer hypothesizes
that the Spencer family began to run into tough times beginning with his father
Michael. The remaining 6 pages of the chapter address three additional motivations:
religious, "turmoil," and [association with] "leaders of the Great
Migration." Dispute being an interesting read on the times in England, this
part of the chapter is highly speculative and provides no specific evidence or
connections to the SPENCERs. He suggests that the SPENCER brothers were Puritans
based on them being the "right age" to be dissenters and that brother
William was reported to be "closely connected" with Rev. Thomas Hooker,
whom he MAY have met at Cambridge University (Massachusetts). He granted a
four acre plot in Sep 1634 in Cambridge, Massachusetts Bay Colony.
(8367)(8368) He moved in
1637 to Lynn, Essex, MA.(8369)
(8370) Harold Spencer (357) says the move
took place "soon after 1631 and in 1634 he was a Journeyman in Hartford
whereas as Jack Spencer (600) say the move took place in 1637 (600, page 213)
and says he had been grated land in Cambridge in 1635. He goes on to describe
a "great turmoil" which occurred at Cambridge in the mid 1630s during
which nearly ALL of the population removed to Hartford under Reverend Thomas
Hooker and sold their property to followers of Reverend Thomas Shepard. The move
to Lynn allowed Gerard to increase his property from 4 to 30 acres. He took
the oath of a freeman on 9 Mar 1637 in Lynn, Essex, MA.
(8371)(8372) He granted
30 acres in 1638 in Lynn, Massachusetts Bay Colony.
(8373) He served as a made Ensign of trainband in 1638 in Lynn, Massachusetts
Bay Colony.(8374) He Gerard acts as
financer: loans neighbors money and signs bonds as security between 1639 and
1644 in Lynn, Massachusetts Bay Colony.(8375)
In Sep 1639, Gerard signed a bond (together with Joseph Armitage) to
provide security to Daniel Salmon. Before Feb 1644, Gerard loans money to Abraham
Belkap, who notes the debt in his will. He was a Ferry boat keeper between Mar
1639 and 19 Mar 1641 in Lynn, Essex, MA.(8376)
(8377)
(8378)(8379) On the first
date he is awarded a license to operate a ferry at Lynn for two years. It operated
between Needham's Landing in Lynn and Biards landing in Saugus. Also in 1639,
the General Court allocates £50 towards and builds a bridge across the Saugus
River. He appeared in court between 1641 and 1659 in Lynn, Massachusetts Bay
Colony.(8380) During this period, Gerard
appeared in court many times.
He married to Hannah Joannis HILLS on 17 Dec 1636 in Lynn, Massachusetts Bay Colony. (8408)(8409) (8410) Children were: John SPENCER, Mehitable SPENCER, Marah SPENCER, Sarah SPENCER, Elizabeth SPENCER, Thomas SPENCER, Samuel SPENCER, Timothy SPENCER, Ruth SPENCER, William SPENCER, Nathaniel SPENCER, Rebecca SPENCER.
He married to Rebecca PORTER in 1677 in Saybrook, Middlesex, CT.(8411) (8412)
Gerard
SPENCER was christened on 20 May 1576 in Stotfold, Bedford, England.
(8413)(8414)
(8415)
(8416) He actually this is the date that Gerard LEASED land to brother
Thomas in 1615 in Stotfold, Bedford, England.
(8417) Jack Spencer (600) hypothesizes that the Spencer family began
to run into tough times beginning with his father Michael and this may have been
the impetus for there sons to emigrate. He became a member St. Mary the Virgin
before 1632 in Stotfold, Bedford, England.(8418)
This church was built about 1150 A.D. by Saxons. He died before 1646
in England.(8419)
(8420)(8421)
(8422) Richardson (448) clearly states that Gerard SPENCER (1576-1646)
came to Cambridge in 1632 with his 5 sons then went back to England and maimed
Alice WHITBREAD in 1600. HOWEVER, according to Harold Spencer (357) and Jack
Spencer (600), it is Gerard Jr. who emigrates to America with his brothers.
Gerard Sr seems to die in England before 1646. Therefore, I have attributed
the events in America cited by Richardson for Gerard Sr. to Gerard Jr. Parents:
Michael SPENCER and Elizabeth
.He married to Alice WHITBREAD on 10 Nov 1600
in Upper Gravenhurst, Bedford, England.(8423)
(8424)
(8425)(8426) Gerald traveled
back to England for an unknown period of time, but long enough to marry at St.
Giles church. He then returned to America.
Gerald and Alice SPENCER of the parents of the four SPENCER brothers who emigrated
to New England from whom many Americans are descended: William (b 1601), Thomas
(b 1607), Michael (b 1611), and Gerald (b 1614). Children were:
William SPENCER, Elizabeth SPENCER,
John SPENCER, Henry SPENCER,

SPENCER was born about 1543.(8427)
(8428)
(8429) He died between 8 Jul 1576 and 20 May 1577 in Biggleswade,

SPENCER was born on 4 Jan 1778 in NY.(1914)

Hannah
SPENCER was born about 1640 in Lynn, Massachusetts Bay Colony.
(8433)(8434)
(8435) Jack Spencer later cites her birth date as 1641 from the IGI
(600, page 214). She appeared in court in 1660 in Hartford, Connecticut Colony.
(8436) Simon Lobdell sued Gerard and his
daughter Hannah (age 19) because she refused to marry Lobdell as she promised.
I do not know the outcome. She died before 1691.
(8437)(8438)
(8439)She married to Daniel BRAINARD in 1663 in Haddam, Hartford, CT.(8440) She married to Daniel BRAINARD on 29 Nov 1698. (8441)

Henry
SPENCER was born before 1354 in Badby, Northamptonshire, England.
(8450) He may not have been born there but surely resided there, as
did his father. This is my own estimate as to when he was born, assuming her
was over 21 when he was married. Parents: Thomas SPENCER
.He married to Isabel LINCOLN about 1375. (8451) This is my own estimate as to when they were married. Children were: John SPENCER , Thomas SPENCER, William SPENCER, Nicholas SPENCER.
